Mongoose Games published some books covering the Young Kingdoms setting that may be available second hand from places like Amazon. But they are for a different rule set that would need a bit of conversion to the Elric!/Stormbringer fifth edition system. 

Has anybody seen this? Would anyone who has this care to post a review? It looks interesting.  Ki Khanga: The Sword and Soul Role Playing Game: Powered by OpenQuest: Amazon.co.uk: Ojetade, Balogun, Davis, Milton: 9781096136057: Books

I have a minor gripe about AoS. Both the dragons and demons, no matter what their type (Lesser Greater, or Common) all have an INT of 21. That's pretty high. Those pesky critters would be very clever indeed at all levels, outwitting the less intelligent PCs.  So I lowered the INT for the Lesser and Common levels of demons and dragons. 

While trawling through my voluminous files I found Jason Durall's stats for Ulric Von Bek from The Warhound and the World's Pain. I'm going to post the stats here because Jason's blog seems long defunct, and for any Von Bek fans.     

Awesome news. 😸

Awesome. 😸

Do we have an estimated time of publication for Destined? Will it be out before June? 🦸🦹🥷

Barker was still a neonazi piece o'shit, Brian. His neonazi book is a despicable blueprint for the type of people who put gay people into gas chambers to murder them.

"Barker, we should note, was a convert to Islam; he wasn't (I think) so much a "white supremacist" (in the modern neo-nazi sense), as an explicit anti-semite.  I admit I don't care to delve into the material he wrote..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His book is explicitly antisemitic, being published by the same white supremacist publisher that published the vile Turner Diaries, and he was a member of a holocaust denying group. As such Barker was a neonazi piece of shit. 😡

In the meantime Mythras has a superhero game coming out soon called Destined. 

Can't wait for Destined to be released. 😁

I'll take that as a "No" then. 

Has anybody made GM screens for The Company or River of Heaven? 

Don't forget that you also can get a damage modifier to go with that 1D3 too. 

I don't think that 1D3 is all that fiddly. Roll a D6, 1 to 2 = 1, 3 to 4 = 2, 5 to 6 =3, "simples",  as the  Russian mongoose on the telly says! 😁

In River of Heaven kick damage is rated as 1D6. 

Thanks Raleel. 

I've got Open Quest second edition. I can't seem to find the damage listing for human punching, kicking, and biting. Can someone tell me if it is in the rules, and where it is? 

Which page of the Mythras rules has the damage listed for human punching, kicking, and biting?

All this does beg the question just what (or whom) is summon-able? Can anybody be yanked from their home into another world by a summon spell?

If anyone is interested there are some alternative rules for Stormbringer fifth edition that allow a sorceror to summon creatures from another plane that aren't generally classed as demons that could be used for Magic world, if you want that sort of summoning to be part of your games.  "The summoning skill is a useful measure of the general magic proficiency of a character and can be used in a simple way to deal with the summoning of creatures that are predefined as coming from another plane, such as the Creatures of Matik, the Elenoin, the Steeds of Nirhain, or even a Vadagh from Corum's world, an Eldren from the ghost-worlds of Erekose's Earth, or a traveller of the spheres like Wheldrake the poet."  http://www.stormbringerrpg.com/docs/Alternate Magic.pdf

 It needs to look distinct, different, and enticing. I know a lot of people who bought Dark Heresy with little to no knowledge of Warhammer 40k, just because the book was so damn pretty and presented itself with such much flavor.

Have you seen the beautiful covers to the new Runequest books?

If you are looking for some summoning rules that might be compatable with the Magic from the BGB you might want to have a look at these. http://www.stormbringerrpg.com/docs/Alternate Magic.pdf

Moorcock's multiverse doesn't work that way - there is only one version of each world in his stories.

 

 

Whatever gave you that idea? This comic collection, written by Moorcock, has an Elric that never takes up the Horn of Fate. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moorcock's_Multiverse And there is a reality where Hawkmoon fails to become the Eternal Champion and a dreamquesting  Elric has to rescue that world from Granbretan. “Every world? There are others?" "An almost infinite number. It was into one of these I offered you the chance of escape.”
Hawkmoon dropped his head in thought. “Worlds where our history has taken a different turn. Where the Empire never rose to power?”
“Aye-and where that power has been divided or successfully resisted.”
The Warrior in Jet and Gold instructs Dorian Hawkmoon –The White Wolf’s Son. https://www.sfsite.com/07b/ws204.htm 

There are even two versions of Terhali the Green Empress, mentioned in passing in the Stormbringer novel, that Moorcock wrote. One is in a Conan comic, the other very different version is in the second set of Corum stories, both of which are written by Moorcock.
